Anyone who has been the victim of a scam knows how upsetting and concerning it can be. Here are Age UK’s top 5 steps to reduce the risk of being scammed:

STOP – Never do anything you don’t want to, and don't make any decisions on the spot
CHECK – Always check people's credentials, especially tradespeople. Ask for proof of ID, trade accreditations, and always ensure quotes and contracts are in writing
ASK – Always ask someone you trust for a second opinion
MINE – Do not give away your personal information
SHARE – Share your experience with others to lower their risk of being scammed

Age UK, the national charity, offers free information and advice for anyone who is worried about being scammed. For more information people can call Age UK Advice on 0800 169 65 65, visit www.ageuk.org.uk

If you are concerned that you or someone you know has been scammed, contact Report Fraud on 0300 123 2040. Should anyone think a business is unlawful or acted unfairly then they can also call Citizens Advice on 0808 223 1133 who can help to make a report to Trading Standards.

Age UK is the leading charity for older people. Visit Age UK today for help, information and advice or to see how you can donate or give support.

We’re delighted to be supporting Robins Community Foundation to deliver REACT (Retirement in Action) at Imperial Sports Ground from this September!

Funded through the Vivensa Foundation, with additional funding from the BNSSG ICB, Age UK Bristol is leading the development of Strength & Balance provision across Bristol.

REACT is an evidence-based programme supporting adults aged 60+ who are beginning to notice changes in their mobility, strength, balance or confidence – helping them stay active, independent and connected.

A fantastic example of local organisations working together to help older people stay active and independent for longer. 💚
